I have used a sling with both my babies and it has made my life soooo much easier. I still use it with my little one in the grocery store, walking around the block and even when I’m vacuuming or sweeping at home and need to keep little hands and feet out of the way… so when I heard about this dandy deal, I knew I had to share it with all my best ladies.

Seven Everyday Slings is currently running a promotion for a FREE baby sling! You can order from their site and enter the promo code “Thanksgiving” and just pay shipping!

These slings are regulary $48.00 so this is a real steal. Now get that baby wrapped up! And if you don’t have a baby, here’s a great chance to cross someone off your Christmas list!

And if you saved some money from this deal, or haven’t maxed out your Christmas budget yet, I hope you’ll consider helping Make Christmas Count for Cliff.

So although I was totally over summer and definitely ready to move on to the chilly and cozy winter months — I do admit that I miss that healthy glow from spending my days outside in the sun with my kids. My freckles have practically gone into hiding and I daresay I am borderline pasty. Am I the only one who feels this way?

That’s why I’m totally pumped to use my Tan Can that my gal Blakelely Smart over at Bronzed Envy sent me. I’ve talked about the Tan Can before — and I still love it. It’s the perfect bronzey glow, without being orange. And with red hair and freckles, a tan in a bottle that doesn’t make me look like a carrot is hard to come by!

Anyone have a Christmas party coming up? How about a family gathering or a winter wedding? Tan Can will not disappoint — Blakeley personally developed the color herself – and it’s gorgeous. Bronzed Envy carries a wide array of home tanning products and you can see all the home tanning products here.

But that’s not all — Bronzed Envy is actually a mobile airbrush tanning service that comes to you! Blakeley has started this business herself — and she wants to share it with you. Bronzed Envy is the perfect business opportunity for so many women just like her — stay-at-homes who want to make a little money {and who doesn’t?} or women looking for a great and unique business to call their own.

It may be turkey day, but that doesn’t mean the deals stop! Right now Groupon is offering this deal… “$10 for $20 Worth of Photo Books or Holiday Cards, Plus Four Free Accordion Desktop Calendars at KODAK Gallery”!!! I’m getting it to use for some last minute Christmas gifts. Yep I’m pretty much am finished with my Christmas shopping already! Can you believe it? Can you also believe that I’m going out in the wee hours tomorrow morning to experience Black Friday??? And I don’t really have anything that I NEED to buy! I’m just going for the fun of it all and to possibly buy something on a whim if I find that it’s a way dandy deal. Anyone else going out for Black Friday? What are you getting? Well, for now go and eat some of that Green Bean Casserole! 🙂

Oh and if you want to snag that Kodak Photo Gallery deal then go HERE ! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Black Friday Eve to all! 🙂

The other day I mentioned how I needed to get my kidlets some children’s luggage from CSN. So I got to browsing the luggage, and somehow I got distracted…

I’m sure you’re all aware — you do have calendars, right? — but Christmas is coming! So I thought I’d do a little window shopping. It’s so hard to decide what to get my friends and family — well, the hard part is narrowing it down — so CSN is a great place to shop because you can find everything in one place! I’m making a list and crossing off as I go. I can literally buy for every person on my list on one site — thanks, CSN!

My kids would flip for this train table.

My silly little puggy is almost 7 — he’s not quite as nimble as he once was, how about a boost for when he climbs up to watch the news with us in bed at night?

A couple of weeks ago I was at Banjo’s little gym class and I saw this gorgeous handbag:

I instantly asked its carrier, “Isn’t that a Miche?” Of course I was correct! 🙂 After all we have featured Miche by Stacy the Bag Lady here on Dandy Giveaway before. Plus, I’ve purchased a handbag from Stacy to give as a gift. So I know my Miche! I simply adore the look of the Big Bags. Lucky me, because Stacy is sending me my very own Big Bag Base, so that I can start collecting some of the beautiful shells. Wanna see some of my favs?

That one is a diaper bag! Not that I need one of those right now, but one day. 🙂

How does it work? Well, you first start with the base bag…

There are 3 different sizes/styles available.

Then you just collect and collect away all the different kinds of shells (covers) that your little heart desires! Each shell securely fits magnetically over the base and stays put. When you change outfits you can easily change the look of your handbag without having to empty the contents into a whole new bad. Love that concept!

Looking for a totally unique handbag for this gift giving season? The Stacy the Bag Lady shop is the place to buy that perfect gift. Be sure and tell those who are buy for you about it, too! 🙂 Are you ready to enter to win? One lucky winner is going to receive a Noel Limited Edition Holiday Shell!!! (retail value $24.95)

*** This giveaway is open to entries worldwide!***

There are 5 chances to win. Be sure and leave separate comments for each entry on this posting to enter. **If you qualify for all 5 chances then leave 5 separate comments**

Now that we’re getting closer to Christmas, I don’t know about you, but I hear myself saying “Hmmm, maybe we can ask Santa to bring that to us?’ an awful lot these days. Walking through Target, the grocery store, and even to commercials on TV — “yeah, that walking talking Buzz Lightyear is awesome — we should make sure that we tell Santa about it in our letter.” Yep — we write a lot of Santa letters at our house.

Like every year before, you can send a letter to Old St. Nick, but now you’ll get one back! With Magical Santa Letters, parents can customize a perfectly personal letter from Santa. Simply create your letter, review it and you’re done. Your letter from Santa will arrive on Santa’s personalized stationary, signed by hand from Santa and and mailed in a shiny red festive envelope!

{note: this is a picture of an optional letter from Rudolph, not the actual Santa letter!}

Magical Santa Letters is so user-friendly for parents — simply create and then review your letter — that’s it! Your little one {or your teen, or your spouse, whoever could use a little Christmas cheer!} will get a letter from Santa, a snapshot of Santa working away in his shop and in the Spring, you’ll get a follow up post card from Santa, reminding your tiny terror kids that Christmas is coming up again so they better watch out!

We are in full holiday mode now {there’s not denying it! Christmas is coming, whether you’re ready or not!} Who has company, family or neighborhood Christmas parties coming up? I know we do! I think I should be able to pull something out of the abyss that is my closet, but what about my little ones? While they’re still little, I love being able to dress them up and show them off! Anyone else feelin’ this way? Posh Little Tutus has all the fanciness you need!

Posh Little Tutus is the largest Tutu Boutique for baby girls on the web! With their unique, handcrafted tutus, Posh Little Tutus has amazing quality and a huge selection of tutus.
